http://www.oxxousa.com/miami-lakes/ CommercialDry CleaningService offered by OXXOCare Cleaners in Miami Lakes. We help restaurants, hotels, hospital, law enforcement and all different types of industries with commercial dry cleaning services. We handle comforters, sheets, uniforms, rugs, shoe repair, wedding gowns and all types of clothing that require dry cleaning.

Dry cleaning is the process of removing soil and stains with solvent rather than water. It is called dry cleaning because the solvent contains little or no water and has no effect on swelling or shrinking fabric fibers.
We begin by removing spots and stains with the use of steam and/or spotting agents. The garments are then loaded into the dry cleaning machine. The clothes go in dry and come out dry. The machine agitates the garments to loosen embedded dirt.
Clothes are inspected and hung. Then they are sent to the finishing department. The clothes are pressed to Holiday Cleaners' standards and then sent back for a final inspection. If no spots, stains, or rough finished areas are found, the clothes are bagged and hung on the conveyor. They are now ready to be picked up by the customer.
We're fabric friendly and Earth friendly! Holiday Cleaners responsibly switched chemical solvents to something much safer for the environment... safer than what 85% of the other drycleaners are using.

Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically toxic tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), which the industry calls "perc" or "PERC". It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer; it can also eliminate labor-intensive hand washing.

History

Modern dry cleaning use of non-water-based solvents to remove soil and stains from clothes was reported in 1855. The potential for using petroleum-based solvents such as gasoline and kerosene was recognized by French dye-works operator Jean Baptiste Jolly, who offered a new service that became known as nettoyage à sec—i.e., dry cleaning. Flammability concerns led William Joseph Stoddard, a dry cleaner from Atlanta, to develop Stoddard solvent (white spirit) as a slightly less flammable alternative to gasoline-based solvents. The use of highly flammable petroleum solvents caused many fires and explosions, resulting in government regulation of dry cleaners. After World War I, dry cleaners began using chlorinated solvents. These solvents were much less flammable than petroleum solvents and had improved cleaning power.

Laundry Service

Laundry Service (Spanish:Servicio de Lavandería) is the fifth studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, globally released on 13 November 2001 by Epic Records. It is her first album to be primarily recorded in English. After the release of her fourth studio album Dónde Están los Ladrones?, which became a success in Latin America, Shakira was encouraged by American singer Gloria Estefan to record songs in English as she believed the singer had the potential to crossover into the English-language pop market. Shakira was initially hesitant to undertake the project, but later decided to learn English well enough to be able to write songs in the language herself. The title of the album was chosen to reflect Shakira's views on love and music. It was also released as Servicio de Lavandería in Hispanic regions in January 2002. Musically, Laundry Service is primarily a pop rock record but it also experiments with a variety of other musical styles, including Andean music, dance-pop, Middle Eastern music, rock and roll and tango. The lyrical theme of the album is mostly based around love and romance. Every song on the album was written and produced by Shakira.

Dry cleaning is the process of removing soil and stains with solvent rather than water. It is called dry cleaning because the solvent contains little or no water and has no effect on swelling or shrinking fabric fibers.
We begin by removing spots and stains with the use of steam and/or spotting agents. The garments are then loaded into the dry cleaning machine. The clothes go in dry and come out dry. The machine agitates the garments to loosen embedded dirt.
Clothes are inspected and hung. Then they are sent to the finishing department. The clothes are pressed to Holiday Cleaners' standards and then sent back for a final inspection. If no spots, stains, or rough finished areas are found, the clothes are bagged and hung on the conveyor. They are now ready to be picked up by the customer.
We're fabric friendly and Earth friendly! Holiday Cleaners responsibly switched chemical solvents to something much safer for the environment... safer than what 85% of the other drycleaners are using.

Woman starts a Dry Cleaning Business with N1,200 (less than $10 dollars)

Dry cleaning

Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a chemical solvent other than water. The solvent used is typically toxic tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), which the industry calls "perc" or "PERC". It is used to clean delicate fabrics that cannot withstand the rough and tumble of a washing machine and clothes dryer; it can also eliminate labor-intensive hand washing.

History

Modern dry cleaning use of non-water-based solvents to remove soil and stains from clothes was reported in 1855. The potential for using petroleum-based solvents such as gasoline and kerosene was recognized by French dye-works operator Jean Baptiste Jolly, who offered a new service that became known as nettoyage à sec—i.e., dry cleaning. Flammability concerns led William Joseph Stoddard, a dry cleaner from Atlanta, to develop Stoddard solvent (white spirit) as a slightly less flammable alternative to gasoline-based solvents. The use of highly flammable petroleum solvents caused many fires and explosions, resulting in government regulation of dry cleaners. After World War I, dry cleaners began using chlorinated solvents. These solvents were much less flammable than petroleum solvents and had improved cleaning power.
